Ketogenic compositions including a beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) mixed salt are formulated to induce or sustain ketosis in a subject to which the ketogenic compositions are administered. The BHB mixed salt is formulated to provide a biologically balanced set of cationic electrolytes, and is formulated to avoid detrimental health effects associated with imbalanced electrolyte ratios. A ketogenic composition includes BHB salts of at least sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. The BHB salts may also include at least other component such as a BHB compound containing other cations, such as transition metal cations (e.g., zinc or iron), a BHB-amino acid salts, medium chain fatty acid source, vitamin D.sub.3, flavorant, or other excipient.

An early in life nutritional intervention with a lipid component having both large lipid globules with phospholipids and an increased amount of palmitic acid in the sn-2 position in triglycerides were found to improve the fatty acid composition of cell membranes, in particular brain membranes.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a monoglyceride hydrate product, which product may be used as an emulsifier in various food and non-food applications. The present invention further relates to the monoglyceride hydrate product obtainable by said method. The invention further relates to a monoglyceride hydrate product, comprising monoglycerides, with saturated fatty acid residues, water and non-hydrogenated monoglycerides and/or diglycerides having unsaturated fatty acid residues.

An imitation cheese composition is provided with improved melt functionality. The imitation cheese composition includes non-interesterified/non-hydrogenated vegetable oils, fractionated vegetable oils, specific corn-derived food starches, specific potato-derived food starches, gelatin, and hydrocolloids.

The invention relates to a composition comprising) (i) one or more -3 fatty acids selected from the group consisting of DHA, DPA and EPA and (ii) one or more pyrimidine derivatives selected from the group consisting of uridine sources and cytidine sources for use in decreasing or normalizing the phenyl alanine level in the blood of a PKU patient or for use in dietary management of phenylalanine levels in the blood of a PKU patient.

The present disclosure relates to a lipid source for nutritional compositions, comprising an enriched lipid fraction which comprises structured fat globules. The enriched lipid fraction provides fat globules having a desired size and fatty acid composition and may be stabilized by components such as phospholipids, cholesterol, milk-fat globule membrane protein and combinations thereof. Additionally, the disclosure relates to methods of supporting lipid digestion in a pediatric subject by providing a nutritional composition comprising an enriched lipid fraction having structured fat globules that are more accessible to lipases. The chemical composition, size and structure of the fat globules may improve digestion. The disclosed nutritional compositions may provide additive and or/synergistic beneficial health effects.
